I'm not excusing her if she assaulted someone. But, as for her past, come on, she was a kid who had been brought up in the pressure cooker of professional tennis. She got caught shop lifting and smoking pot when a teenager - there are millions of teens who have done the same without the pressures she had on her.

That is the lie the media told you.....it was crack. The boys got the crack charge and she got the pot possession.

Maybe she did, maybe she didn't, but sad to see people basing their judgements on whatever she did in the past: presumed guilty. she has issues, I wouldn't wonder... Whatever harm she did it was mostly to herself, and btw, what if she is dating a porn star ?

Yikes.

19. In the period from January to April 2006 Dr. Skalny sent very detailed messages to Ms Sharapova [...]: “Mildronate 1-2 X 10, repeat in 2 wks (before training or competition)”; “1 hr before competition, 2 pills of Mildronate”; “During games of special importance, you can increase your Mildronate dose to 3-4 pills (1 hr before the match). However, it is necessary to consult me on all these matters (please call)”; “30 minutes prior to a training session: Mildronat – 1 Capsule. 30-45 minutes prior to a tournament Mildronat 2 capsules”.

"Brannan was shut down..." What does that mean? Is it an Americanism? Can anyone explain? Thanks.

I took it to mean that he tried to get a restraining order but was tuned down, which means that he made false claims, couldn't prove anything, etc. But if he alleges that she called his office 100 times in a day, he could prove that easily.

So the bottom line is that he's made false accusations before, and yet, people are ready to throw stones at Jennifer.

For all we know the guy was a crack head and she was simply smoking the pot....

The judging of Capriati in this thread is totally out of this world.....

You'd think she murdered someone by the way some of you people respond in this thread....

You are absolutely right.....Jennifer is afterall the model of restraint and self control. I mean she went on a 2 day bender with these guys and there was pot, heroin and crack, but Jennifer I am sure only smoked the pot.

But it's so irrelevant now, what drugs she did or did not try when she was a kid.

What is more relevant is that she tried to kill herself with meds in her post-career depression.

She is a former great tennis player, she's given us much. We should be on her side!! Go Jen!
